Description

Aloha! Join Rainbow Kayak Tours for the Wailua River’s most "da kine" tour—the Secret Falls Kayak Tour & Waterfall Hike. Paddle along the majestic Wailua River, where the first Hawaiians journeyed nearly 3,000 miles from the Marquesas Islands to Kauai almost 1,500 years ago. As you navigate these historic waters, you’ll learn about the rich flora and fauna of this sacred area.

Paddle past ancient heiaus (places of worship) and arrive at Kamokila village, a replica of an ancient Hawaiian fishing and farming village. Soon, you'll enter the North Fork, where you can leisurely paddle through the Garden Isle’s beautiful jungle river to the Secret Falls trailhead. Then, embark on a hike through the Kauai rainforest to the enchanting waterfall, cascading 120 feet into a natural pool surrounded by rocks and lush vegetation. Enjoy a refreshing dip in the water before dining on a delicious lunch.

Perfect for families, couples, and solo adventurers, the Secret Falls Kayak Tour & Waterfall Hike is an opportunity not to be missed. Book your tour today and immerse yourself in the enchanting landscapes of the Garden Isle!

"Incredible hidden waterfall makes this a must-do activity in Kauai"

Reviewed November 14, 2024 NEW

My wife and I, plus our teens, set out on this adventure and what can we say but WOW! It was beautiful to kayak down the river and observe all the unique scenery in the Garden Island. Then we pulled our kayaks off river and hiked across the river and through the forest in a relatively easy but always fun trek. Along the way, our excellent & intrepid guide, Kailani (spelling?), told us fascinating & informative tidbits, plus our son got to feed a native bird a worm (it came and landed in his hand!). But the most breathtaking reward was to come round the bend, over some boulders and cast your eyes on this secret magnificent waterfall. To swim into its cool refreshing waters while our guide made lunch was a fulfillment of a lifetime desire! Highly recommended for couples and teens!
